25 Best Italian Restaurants near Kenwood

“We had a delicious dinner at the warm and friendly Golden Bear Station. Heidi is very welcoming, attentive, and does a particularly great job of wine pairings. We had a simple meal: Caesar Salad, which was cold, crisp and dressed with a perfect, creamy dressing, I followed with the Cacio y Pepe pasta and my partner had the Pork Chop. Each dish was fabulous! The Italian red wine was a perfect compliment. We will be back very soon!“

“Love the food and service“

“Crushers banners hang on the gym even in the off-season, which I noticed from Trower Avenue. I picked up a kid after a weekday match on the back fields; the campus is a standard comprehensive high school with a lot of later wings, and pickup traffic jammed the exit. The office staff knew the game schedule without checking a screen.“

“Buck's Place looks like a dive bar from the front, but in back is Sonoma's best pizzeria. Whenever my wife and I wanted a simple date on a Friday night, we'd do house cocktails and a pizza at Buck's. The outdoor seating had a villa feel to it, and the old arcade machines in the back corner were a fun diversion.“

“One dish is more delicious than the next. Best bolognese, seafood, pomodoro cappellini- all of it so so yum!“

“The spicy prawn penne was delicious“

“Great food at reasonable prices and staff and owner are super“

“My husband and I had a fun, delicious meal at C29. We sat at the bar, and we were warmly welcomed by the bartender. When he gave us the menu, we were immediately struck by the incredible wine options available by the glass. I tend to drink more white wines while my husband prefers reds. We rarely buy a bottle of wine when we go out. It was great to see that we could both enjoy incredible wines from wineries that are both hard to find and, when you do, only available by the bottle.

Food-wise, everything we ate was perfectly prepared and delicious. We could tell that a lot of time and attention went into the ingredients and their preparation. Nothing was overworked or too complicated. The price point of some of the dishes may give you pause, but when you taste the food, you quickly recognize the quality. We enjoyed our meal so much that the next morning we returned to the restaurant to pick up some of their bakery items. The croissant and pastries did not disappoint. We're looking forward to enjoying another great meal at C29.“

“Food is incredible! Bacon Alfredo break sticks are insanely amazing.“

“Salumeria Ovello is a wonderful spot in Sonoma! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with a great selection that made the visit feel special. The atmosphere is charming and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. A fantastic place to enjoy quality Italian-inspired flavors—five stars all around!“

“We were visiting Sonoma from Calgary, Canada to celebrate 40th/50th birthdays. The table loved all the food, including the teriyaki glazed pork ribs, and the seasonal Cappellini Pasta. Amazing. Highly recommend, from the atmosphere to the food. 5 stars.“

“The restaurant and food are good. I recommend it. You should try the cheese platter and desert which are excellent. The main course was good.“

“Delicious pizza, fast and friendly service“

“Delicious sauce, amazing dough and fresh quality ingredients. Having been raised in Chicago, I am kind of a pizza snob. So when I say this is the best pizza I've had in my 30 yrs in Sonoma County, you should take notice. Brava!!“

“I love it hundred percent“

“Loved my time there the food was so tasty. 💕“

“If Enoteca were a bottle of wine, it would be a perfectly aged red—full-bodied, rich, and likely to make you want to tell all your friends about it after the first sip. The atmosphere is equal parts cozy and classy, like the kind of place where you can feel sophisticated and still laugh until your cheeks hurt.

And then… there’s Lilly.
Lilly isn’t just an employee—she’s the heart, soul, and uncorked magic of Enoteca Sonoma. She could probably sell wine to a vineyard owner, and she somehow knows exactly what you need before you even realize it yourself. Need a pairing suggestion? She’s got it. Need a story about the wine that makes it taste even better? Done. Need someone to casually convince you to order another glass? She’s your girl.

Basically, Enoteca without Lilly would be like a wine glass without wine—functional, but missing the good stuff.

Five stars, two thumbs up, and a toast to Lilly for making every visit feel like the perfect pour. 🍷“

“Come for the SALAD...Stay for the Pizza, Raviolis and in this case....Split Pea soup. Good meal tonight. Love us a bunch of Mary's Pizza!🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕“

“I want to take the time to share such an amazing customer service experience at the Mary's on Summerfield.

I ordered online for NYE at around 6:25 pm. It was a last minute decision as other places we were going to get dinner from were closed. My order was forecasted to be done for pick up at 7:10 pm.

I got to Marys at 6:55 pm. Earlier than anticipated due to the rain. It was definitely busy for pick up orders. It is NYE. So definitely to be expected. I got to the head of the line and was told my pickup order should be done by 7:15 pm. Close enough. I wasnt bothered. 7:20 pm rolls around and I go to the counter to check on my order. Im not mad or irritated. I just wanted an eta as I can see how hard the crew is working and the phones are ringing non stop. I approached the counter and the young gentleman was already anticipating my question. He apologized for the delay and handed me a monetary voucher to use for next time. He said it would be another 20 minutes and apologized again. I wasnt expecting such a kind gesture. I could see how busy they were and its expected due to the evening it was. 20 mins passed and my order was ready. The young gentleman called me over, apologized again for the delay, and gave me some cookies (as well) for waiting. I wish I got the young gentleman's name. He went above and beyond. It wasnt expected but very much appreciated.

The food was hot and delicious as well! Quality was just as good even with how busy they were.

Mary's, Thank you for showing such great customer service. I can see your staff was working so hard on such a busy night. Much Thanks to all of the staff your effort and service is so appreciated.“

“Love Mary's. My grandson and I each had a meal that was new on the menu. Mine was the Fried Clams and his was the Chicken Picata. Both were outstanding. The batter on the clams was very light and crunchy. I also tasted his chicken and it was outstanding. Of course, we also had an order of the plain breadsticks. So happy I live in a town with two Mary's Pizza Shacks.“

“Ordered a pizza for pickup through their system, went in to pick it up, waited almost an hour for it to be actually ready, however when my pie was finally ready the staff were VERY apologetic and friendly even offering a drink or side free of charge, food was GREAT I recommend the garlic fries, love the staff and atmosphere.“

“We came for a few bites during happy hour and was so delighted. The food was fresh and tasty. The service was impeccable. I don't writ many reviews , but I had to note this one. We had a special night out and we thank you for making it personal. THIS IS A GREAT FIND.“

“This weekend we went to Union hotel in Santa Rosa to celebrate my sister’s bachelorette party and we had such a fun experience! We are so thankful to our server Misty and the rest of the team! They went above and beyond for us! Thank you so much, delicious pizza, yummy raspberry lemon drops and the perfect ambiance for us ladies! Will definitely be back :) Misty even helped us record an awesome TikTok video to Shania Twain’s… Man, I feel like a woman! Thank you Misty for helping my family and I create a great memory!“

“I got a pulled pork sandwich on Dutch crunch bread. It was a tasty sandwich but I had asked them to lightly toast it and they didn't. I looked at some of the products in the freezer and they had old dates on them. They need to rotate out the old stuff for new products.“

“Nice & friendly staff, lovely weekly food & drink specials. Tasty Pizzas & salads. Excellent tiramisu…“
